I really like these simple easy to use maps. They are well put together and highly functional. I am very familiar with Houston, but i still carry this map, because sometimes frankly you just what to be sure where something is located. The only draw back to these streetwise maps is that they only highly light the central city, which is fine if that's the only place you'll be driving, but if you need a map of the entire city then this may not be your best bet, but they are great for the most traveled areas of town. Overall, I am a huge fan of these maps.

So I was new to Houston and bought this map (2008 edition) to get around. I saw this place called Astroworld and Water World, so I drove with my kids to that place. Lo and behold, there was no theme park, just a big lot of grass! This is an unforgivable error -- and the park, closed in 2005 according to wikipedia, is also listed as a point of interest on this map.

This is a very useful map. It is pocket size so you can put it in your pocket or in your purse for easy access. I think this map is so easy to read and shows all the roads and the popular buildings for tourist to visit. I am glad I bought this map. Streetwise maps do an excellent job with getting you around the city.
